I'm A Floating Head, No I'm No FLoating Head But Really...

An epic conversation that consisted of quoting They Might Be Giants lyrics at @boyreporter yesterday led to a response from @tmbg and me finding this literal video version of Birdhouse In Your Soul. Countless screaming Argonauts indeed.

Chopping Down A Door In A Cop Montage!

A literal video version of Sabotage by dascottjr. This Beastie Boys video is great, no matter what people do to it.

The cat pic is to prevent auto-banning of the video, as media companies still have their shorts in a knot about copyright and parody. You can see the non-kitty, unembedable version here.

Billie Jean: Literal Video Version
It's been a long time since I've watched Michael Jackson's Bille Jean and watching this literal video reminded me of exactly how little sense it makes. (More literal videos at dascottjr)

Hooked On A Feeling: Literal Video Version
I didn't think David Hasselhoff's bizarre, cheapo video for Hooked On A Feeling could get any stranger. I was wrong. Ooga chakka, hooga hooga, ooga chakka, indeed.

Loser: Literal Video Version - watch more funny videos

It may just be me, but the Literal Video Version of Beck's Loser makes more sense than the original video.

Jump and exercise
It's a graveyard, baby
And now you should show me

Every time I see one these literal videos, I figure it's going to be terrible, but it usually turns out to be the video they are mocking that's a mess. Who knew Total Eclipse of the Heart, which I just despise, had such a creepy, nonsensical video? (Link via Neatorama)

Nice Touch For A Goth Wedding

I never realized how ridiculous the video for White Wedding is. Why exactly does a motorcycle smash through the stained glass window anyway?

From Dust Films, who also did a brilliant literal interpretation of a-ha's Take On Me.

Is there an a-ha resurgence in the air? Could be, it's been awhile since there's been a big Norwegian band (barring, of course, my current lack of musical knowledge).

Anyway, I love the literal take on a-ha's Take On Me video. Worth a watch if you haven't already seen it everywhere else.

It reminded me of a Family Guy episode Breaking Out Is Hard to Do, where Chris is sucked into the a-ha video while in the supermarket, for the same reason anything happens on Family Guy.

It also reminds me that I listened to a whole lot of soft pop when I was in high school. Still, it's better than Glass Tiger.
